NEW PLANET LIKE EARTH DISCOVERED 2010 - GLIESE 581 G

This year astronomers have discovered a new planet like earth located in the "Goldilocks Zone", that is close to earth. They believe that the planet can sustain human life since it has liquid water , proper gravity, atmosphere and surface to support human life. The size of this planet is three times as big as our planet, Earth. It is 20 light years from Earth’s solar system (+ 194 trillion km from Earth ).

Even the condition is similar to our Earth ( the system with an inner clutch of rocky, terrestrial planets and a big planet like Jupiter further out) it does not mean that life exists on the planet. The planet does not rotate. That means one side is always sunny and hot while the other is cold and dark.. But some scientists believe that there should be a belt in the middle which would have constantly pleasant weather.
